“This is a woman, by the way, who came on our show during the campaign and would shill for Trump in extensive fashion,” claimed Brzezinski. “Then she would get off the air, the camera would be turned off, the microphone would be taken off and she would say, ‘Bleh, I need to take a shower,’ because she disliked her candidate so much.”

Piggybacking on his co-host’s accusation, Scarborough added Conway would also describe her campaigning for Trump as her “summer in Europe.” Brzezinski interrupted to suggest Conway had told them she was “just doing this for the money,” though Scarborough wasn’t sure if the former campaign manager had ever gone that far. “I don’t know that she ever said, ‘I’m doing this for the money,'” he added, “but [she did say], ‘This is just my summer vacation. My summer in Europe.’ And basically, ‘I’m gonna get through this.'”

The two continued dishing on Conway’s alleged transgressions against then-Republican presidential nominee Trump, whose Access Hollywood tape scandal apparently reshaped how she imagined her role in the campaign to be. “After the Access Hollywood tape came out,” Scarborough concluded, “that’s when she started referring to Donald Trump as ‘my client.'”

Morning Joe, whose co-hosts banned Conway back in February, hasn’t minced words when it comes to how much it distrusts the campaign manager turned White House counselor. Brzezinski and Scarborough had little to offer by way of proof for their allegations other than their mutual anecdotes, though when the Access Hollywood scandal first broke, Conway made headlines after the second presidential debate when she told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, “I’m with the campaign until the bitter end, unless… Who knows? But I’m sitting here as his campaign manager.” Matthews and others pressed Conway about what her “unless” meant, but she refused to offer a concrete answer.

This is actually a really slimy thing for these two to do. She said and did these things off the record. It is very un-journalistic to report something like this. Also, if you were gonna be this slimy, why not do it during the campaign when it could have made an impact? This is just fucked all the way around.

Yeah, this a total douche thing to do to her. They are in the same game and they know the rules. You don’t mess with someones income because you decide you’re going to take yourselves too seriously for a minute.

Yes, it was shitty of them, but fuck Kellyanne Conway all the way to hell. You don’t have kids and support that POS without paying for it. Here’s to her job loss and the kids going to the grandparents or someone else with some integrity.

Morning Joe is about as “journalistic” a program as the Today Show or Fox & Friends. If Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity can lie and be generally awful shitbags and then play it off as “we’re not journalists, we’re entertainers/talking heads with opinion shows” and “Fox News’ opinion shows are distinct and separate from their actual news programming”, then the same applies to Morning Joe. If Scarborough is a journalist and should be held to strict journalistic standards, then let’s demand the same from Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and the rest of the gargoyles at Fox News.

I get that she made her bed by aligning herself with this asshole and does not deserve out sympathy. I’m not saying she does. But this is not how a news organization should act. And call the show what you want, but MSNBC is a news organization. And just because Fox News acts one way, doesn’t mean they all should. If Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity did this to a Democrat, you would all be screaming about it (and rightly so). Just because we don’t like someone or don’t support their views doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be treated like everyone else. She’s a shitbag who aligned herself with an even bigger shitbag, but she didn’t say this on air and Morning Joe should never have reported it.

Do you really think they did this because they feel an obligation to the greater good? This isn’t Woodward in Bernstein. This is two sleazy “journalists” burning a sleazy PR shill on air for their own benefit. Nothing more. Everyone involved in this is a terrible person.

@Paul from the Gump
Maybe KellyAnne should watch what she says around reporters, even when “off the record?” Just a thought? Trump’s pussy-grabbing comments were off-the-record as well, but I don’t see why that should have precluded their becoming public knowledge. And Billy Bush keeping those comments in confidence didn’t exactly bode well for him either.

There is a big difference between airing actual comments by someone (Trump said those things on mic and we heard his voice) and saying someone said something. There is a tacit agreement between reporters and the ones they interview. Unless it is on the record, you don’t report it. Period. Now maybe they don’t care if they lose their credibility – as some have pointed out, they aren’t exactly hard hitting journalists – but this also gives the other side an out as to why they can’t be trusted. This whole thing is a shit show and not one person in any of this looks good.

I’m guessing Kellyanne’s original endgame was to be the campaign manager of a popular joke candidate, and just get really famous because of the exposure. BUT, she probably assumed they’d lose the election (because everything was a giant fucking joke) and she’d be free after that to backstab Donny and write a tell-all book and get a bunch of money and even more exposure.

Instead, since life ended up being cruel… she remained on the payroll of the giant joke president, and now she sort of just has an aimless purpose.

All this being said, the fact that she helped jeopardize the entire country by lying to morons on behalf of one of the world’s greatest blowhards makes her a pretty shitty person who values money and fame more than her dignity.

She’s the political equivalent of a porn actress being paid to have dudes take dumps in her mouth.
